If I requested tcp for mount and then also got tcp for rpcbind, I would find that natural and useful. 2/ If '-v' was given and a UDP lookup to portmap timedout, we could retry without connecting (and with a shorter timeout), and print an explanatory message if that succeeded. If '-v' actually changed the behavior of the mount command rather than just increasing the verbosity I would find that surprising.
